Pollard has now hired 2 National Championship caliber coaches

Anyone still doubt the high quality of our AD? Two of his hires have now won National Championships. Granted, not with ISU, but unless you're going to blame him for the respective departures, I think it shows his ability to evaluate top notch coaching talent.

Granted, no one is perfect but that is Creighton's problem now.

He also drove one off by not giving much thought into giving wrestling the money and facilities it deserves at ISU.

Until those national championships are won at Iowa State, hiring Chizik and Sanderson do not add to the quality of Jamie Pollard.

And saying that building a wrestling facility was out of the question or not possible when all he was looking for was support for the program? yea, those are outlandish assumptions and requests to make when you bring ISU the first wrestling championships it's had in a long time.

If he wanted to keep Cael or had respect for the program, he would have done one of two things: 1, made a counter offer; or 2, said that he would work on upgrading the wrestling facilities.
